Humorous term to refer to da one-to-ten-second "allowance-window" for performing goofy antics dat is implied to be granted to you as a "reward" or "consolation" if a certain type of minorly-distressing event unexpectedly befalls you, such as if you get accidentally bonked on da head with a rake-handle or 2X4, and thus you are "permitted" to make a huge buffoonish show of wobblingly staggering about for a moment or two, as if you've been knocked partially unconscious.
Another type of momentary clowning-around license might be if there is a sudden loud noise nearby dat presumably would allow you to raucously respond in kind --- for example, if a passing car toots its horn for no apparent reason, you then briefly have "implied permission" to shut your eyes tightly and bellow, "HAWNK!!" in "reply" to said unexpected auditory interruption.

“I was always afraid of Killer Clowns”, I said to myself, but luckily there were no killer clowns in sight. That was until I realized it was Killer Clown Tuesday.

"Acting the fool" or "telling someone off." Making your displeasure known loudly, because someone didn't (for example) pay you what he or she promised.
Maggie know good and well she shouldn't have been clowning and acting the fool at that public library.
